Posted May 1, 201311 yr We managed to find this beauty on Lego's instruction page today. It is the Lego set that will be given to attendees of the Lego Inside Tour this year. We have a little bit of a write up about it here http://www.thedailyb...3-set-revealed/
May 1, 201311 yr It looks nice, but in my opinion this is the least best (I don't want to use the word worst ) of all Inside Tour sets
May 1, 201311 yr I want that truck! This is probably my favorite LIT set yet. These are available only to those who visit the LEGO factory in Denmark?
May 2, 201311 yr This might get a take down notice from LEGO. I seem to recall that last year the instructions briefly went public before sites took them down, this is a bit of a spoiler for those taking the tour in 2013... but thanks for sharing with those of us who don't fall into that group.
May 2, 201311 yr Found this on the lego instructions site wish they would do sets like this for everybody and not just for people visiting the inside tour! picture link to instructions .pdf Cry!
May 2, 201311 yr That is a nice truck.. first thought was a circus-truck or so.. How can people visit the inside tour.. is it possible to 'buy' your way in, or what should someone do to get inside the factory? Gives me a little bit a 'Willy Wonka'-feeling.. (Charly and the Chocolate-factory) Maybe TLG should put golden tickets in their Legoboxes...that what be an awesome idea.... !!!!!!! Greetz, LegoSjaak
May 2, 201311 yr (Charly and the Chocolate-factory) Maybe TLG should put golden tickets in their Legoboxes...that what be an awesome idea.... !!!!!!! Maybe if you get a Mr Gold in a Serie 10 Minifig blister!!! lol
May 2, 201311 yr Saw this in special themes. One more set I'll never have. It's pretty neat though, but apparently around $2300 USD to take this tour and receive one... No airfare or other accommodations, for those who don't live nearby. Too bad, I'd love to experience this. Might have to MOC on up Edited May 2, 201311 yr by LEGO Guy Bri

GRogall, I have moved your topic and merged with the existing one. Like yourself and others, it is a pity that we are highly unlikely to be able to get hold of this super special looking set.

May 2, 201311 yr Wow, that is awesome and probably the best tour set I have seen to date. Love the vintage LEGO throwback take.
May 2, 201311 yr After seeing this, I really want this truck. It's too bad that I would have to take the Lego factory tour to get it. Can't even buy it on Lego.com .
May 7, 201311 yr A German LEGO friend sent me this image today of the special set that 2013 LEGO Inside Tour members got as their promotional set. Whoops... looks like it's already being discussed! This bus has an interesting history... This truck was the 3rd truck that TLG bought for sending LEGO sets from their Billund Denmark factory... to their Hohenwestedt Germany distribution warehouse. This truck dates to 1958, and was the first truck/trailer combination. Villy Thomsen was the name of the company in Billund that this truck was owned by... although the truck was driven by KKK's older cousin Victor Christiansen back and forth between Billund and Hohenwestedt. For images of the Hohenwestedt warehouse and sales office, see my "First LEGO Sets of Germany" thread for building images... http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=81594 Once the boxes arrived at the Hohenwestedt warehouse... they were shipped all over Germany. This is one of the boxes that came from Billund, and repackaged with Hohenwestedt tape for mail shipment all over Germany. Here's KKK with cousin Victor and a model of the Villy Thomsen truck/trailer that he drove 40+ years ago... Edited May 7, 201311 yr by LEGO Historian
May 7, 201311 yr My German LEGO friend Jan Katanek sent me this image today of the special set that 2013 LEGO Inside Tour members got as their promotional set. .... Thank you LEGO Historian for sharing, but there is an existing topic in here, and I have moved and merged yours into this existing discussion. WhiteFang
May 7, 201311 yr That's a beauty but I'm a sucker for just about any Lego truck. Thanks for posting the photos. Joe
May 8, 201311 yr Looking through the building instructions, apart from the sticker sets, it appears those light bluish grey doors are going to be a bit of a challenge for anyone planning to build this without going on the factory tour!
May 9, 201311 yr Looking through the building instructions, apart from the sticker sets, it appears those light bluish grey doors are going to be a bit of a challenge for anyone planning to build this without going on the factory tour! Well, just rip open your sealed 10129 Maersk Train and use those !58380 58381
May 9, 201311 yr For some reason, the instructions were taken down, so I was afraid I was too late to download them, but luckily they are still availabe at the dailybrick. http://www.thedailybrick.co.uk/lego_instructions/viewer?i=lego_inside_tour_2013_4000008_instructions
May 9, 201311 yr D@mn, I knew I shoulda bought two Maersk trains. Hopefully some kind soul will scan the stickers for us, please...please...please Joe
May 9, 201311 yr Well, just rip open your sealed 10129 Maersk Train and use those ! I'm slightly worried you know I'm sitting on a couple of sealed Maersk Trains!
May 9, 201311 yr That's a very nice set, with nice and interesting techniques (the yellow roof, and the front, for instance). Who will dare reproduce it for a review ?
May 10, 201311 yr Someone made a review of the molding machine set from last year, so someone else could do the same for this one.
